    We are so lucky to have a selection of fine farmshops surrounding the Bristol area - bringing fresh…read morefarm produce right to our plates! This one isn't my most favourite, mainly because its selection is not quite as extensive as some, but for meat and deli counters it is spot on. The belly pork I bought from here was some of the best ever, with crisp crackling, without being greasy. The veg and cheese are great too, and much of it is picked/made on site. What I liked best is that a random medley of friendly farm animals greet you at the door: geese, pigs and chickens wandering around, snuffling in the mud. You can't get more free range than that! Hang up your city shoes and wack on your wellies for some yummy local grub!

    I cannot believe that I am writing the first review of this place. It is a fantastic place to buy…read moreyour meat. It located at one end of the Gatcombe Farm shop in the old A370, which is now the quiet road between Long Ashton and Cambridge Batch. This place sells the best steak, sausages, black pudding in the west, at really good prices. Be warned though, it shuts very promptly on Saturdays at 5 plus it does a great Sunday morning fry up, however it doesn't open till 10am. I bought a leg of lamb the other day, the butcher said to me that it would taste lovely as it was brought up on a diet of parnips and rosemary. It was completely delicious. Small animal farm next to it with Small Ponies, Geese, and Rheas (like ostriches) and its also nice for cream teas and sunday lunch in the fresh air on a sunny day

    What a fantastic day out. This place offers a lot for family's…read more Great value for £8 per adult and £5 for children over two, under twos are free ! The grounds are fantastic lots of open space for the children to wonder and explore and also paths that follow through the trees and gardens. There's a big adventure playground full of lots to explore, zip wire, slide climbing frame etc. There were also blow up slides and a paddling pool. There was a separate area with Wendy houses, trampolines and a climbing frame for the smaller children which was in a really nice relaxing area. You can get up close with pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens in Pet's Corner. There is 66 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland walks, the views across the River Severn and Wales and spectacular ! There's also a cafe and shop. The cafe is really nice I had a caramel latte with a cheese and chutney sandwich came to £5.50 wich Is good value. Plenty of parking available. Overall a fantastic day out which was really enjoyed by all.

    I cannot rave enough about Finkley Down Farm. I don't even have kids I can use as an excuse - I…read moresimply come here to relax and spend some time with the animals. The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful and the abundance of cute greedy animals desperate for you to feed them is nothing short of delightful. Their animals range from goats and sheep to chickens to cows right over to the more unusual llamas and highland cows. Even if you're not into getting close to the animals or feeding them the buckets of food available at the ticket office, just watching them mooch around is still fun and relaxing. The llama took somewhat of a disliking to me (was it something I said?) and stormed at me, looking like it could easily clear the fence and gain its freedom. I wasn't going to hang around to find out. One look at my pathetic retreating hide running off into the distance was enough to reduce its anger to mere disdain, and instead he decided to spit all over me. In some sort of random heroic act, the pig sharing its pen flung itself at the llama as if to take the blow for me, and rather than reflect on the llama soaking I'd been given, I instead watched this pig take one for the team. Right in the eye, no less. From hereonin, I shall name this pig SuperPig. If you do have kids you can pretend are the reason for visiting, there's plenty to keep them occupied. Other than the animals you can feed, there are talks and handling sessions with some of the smaller or baby pets throughout the day. There's also a nice adventure playground and a couple of trampolines to wear them out on too. There's a small gift shop and a place to buy some food, as well as a picnic area if you're sensible enough to bring your own food. I love this place and can't wait to go back when it reopens for the season next year.

    A lovely little petting farm for a day out with the family. Entrance fee is very reasonable. Farm…read moreisn't huge by anyone's standards but just about big enough for an afternoons walking about without it being too much for the little/older ones. Lots to see and many activities laid on for the children. Arm them with a bucket of food from the entrance first though or you will find yourself running back for some! On site cafe sells everything from fish & chips to ice cream or just a cuppa. Toilets well sign posted and clean. Lots of basins and hand gel dotted around for after you have touched the animals. Nice staff who are kid friendly. Congratulations to the farm for keeping the gift shop prices low, lots of souvenirs on sale for under £2.
